National Monument

The National Monument was
built to recognise and honour
those who gave up their lives
in the cause for peace and
freedom, particularly during
the nation's struggle against
the threat of communism.
Within the National Monument
grounds is one of the world's
largest free-standing bronze
sculptures. It was sculpted
in
1966 by Felix de Weldon, who
was also the creator of the
famous Iwo Jima monument in
Washington DC.

The topmost figure, at the
centre, holds aloft the
Malaysian flag. He is flanked
on the left and right by two
other soldiers, both armed;
the figure on the left is
armed with a machinegun,
while
the other carries a rifle and
a bayonet.

Next to the National Monument
are the ASEAN Gardens and the
Tun Razak Memorial, which
houses memorabilia of
Malaysia's second Prime
Minister, the late Tun Abdul
Razak Hussein.
